Equipment

  • Small Nonstick Skillet with Lid

Ingredients

  • 2 tsp butter (or cooking spray but butter makes it taste so much better!)
  • 1 egg
  • Sea salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
  • 1-2 tsp water

Instructions

  • Heat the butter in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  • Crack the egg into the pan. Once the egg white is no longer transparent, add the water to the pan and cover it with a lid.
  • Cook for about 1 minute or until the yolk is clouded over. Don't overcook or the yolk will be hard. Season with Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Enjoy.
  • Side Note: I served my over-easy egg on top of a buttery, toasted English muffin with a piece. Enjoy!
